More thrilling petrolhead action in the Mad Max prequel starring Anya Taylor-Joy, plus Michelle Yeoh’s space spin-off is deliciously arch
Having created a truly memorable character in Charlize Theron’s one-armed trucker Furiosa for his Mad Max sequel Fury Road, George Miller couldn’t let her lie. However, this is no mere rerun. It’s Furiosa’s origin story, with Anya Taylor-Joy fierce and focused as the girl abducted from her hidden valley home, the Green Place, and forced to live by her wits in a desert world of violence and rough justice. Chris Hemsworth is a riot as Dementus, the vainglorious leader of a biker gang who challenges the power of the three dominant fiefdoms – Citadel, Gastown and the Bullet Farm – amid epic landscapes and reassuringly thrilling petrolhead action.
